Default Driver Door hinge bent?

I just bought a 2002 ZR2 yesterday, and one of the biggest things about it that is bugging me right now is that the driver door seems to be bent at the hinges or something I'm not quite sure.

It really isn't a big deal but its noticeable. I mean it closes completely and opens fine

When I open the door it drops slightly (i haven't measured the drop yet I can do that tommrow if anyone wants to know.)

When I close the door you can tell it lifts up a little when you close it shut.

When i was driving on the interstate back home after i bought it i could hear the wind through the door edges and a slight breeze on my feet.

anyone ever had a problem like this even with another vehicle?
